Opting for the Hisense U7K means saving money with a midrange price, while still getting a large 65-inch display with a high refresh rate, which is good for gaming. However, in a bright room, the Samsung QN90B outperforms the Hisense U7K due to better peak brightness and reflection handling, ensuring clearer picture quality. Sports and movie enthusiasts would appreciate the Samsung QN90B's better motion handling and color accuracy, whereas the Hisense U7K provides a decent experience for a significantly reduced cost. For those who value smart features, the Samsung comes with a voice command option, unlike the Hisense U7K. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN90B (LCD) is good for sports, while the Hisense U7K (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90B is more suited for sports with its superior motion processing and response time, ensuring clearer fast-moving images which are crucial in action-packed scenes, as well as better handling of reflections and a wider viewing angle, meaning it maintains image accuracy from different seating positions. In comparison, the Hisense U7K manages reflections well and has very good response time, but its motion processing is not on par and it offers a narrower viewing angle, which could affect those watching from the side.
